[English]

Like a magical spotlight

It painted over the darkness

I just want to keep dancing

A smile came rushing in

Even if we go wild and lose control, It’s Alright

If you want to be our escort, we’ve got it covered

Dye the monochrome city red—feel so fine

Let’s start the ‘best’ moment!

Nanairo Holiday So dazzling it’s blinding, I feel like melting

Come on, reality’s filled with joy, way more than in a dream

A once-in-a-lifetime moment, almost too good to be true

Wrapped in light

I don’t want to end this

I closed my eyes slowly

Ready, countdown—I've been flying around so much

From city to city, round and round Seats packed tight—like a wonderland

Don’t miss the departure! Once you get through the traffic, there’s a sharp turn

A sudden downpour from behind—always a full course of surprises

Still, I can’t stop—echoes of excitement everywhere

Carving out stories in my heart I’m proud of

It’s alright to go wild and have fun, I’m just playing around!

Let’s dance to the point of amazement

Because I know I’m having the most fun in the world right now—feel so fine

Let’s keep going again and again!

Nanairo Holiday So dazzling it’s blinding, I feel like melting

Come on, reality’s filled with joy, way more than in a dream

I’ll definitely come back again, it’s alright

Let’s continue this adventure right here

I’ll make sure you enjoy it forever, all my life

Let’s deliver the ‘best’ moments!

Nanairo Holiday So dazzling it’s blinding, I feel like melting

Come on, reality’s filled with joy, way more than in a dream

[Japanese]

魔法みたいなスポットライト

闇を塗り変えた

ただ踊っていたくて

笑顔が飛び込んだ

ハメ外しすぎるくらいはしゃいでも It’s Alright

エスコートならコチラがお手の物

モノクロの街を紅く染め上げて Feel so Fine

“最高”を始めよう！

ナナイロホリデー 目が眩むくらいに輝いて　とろけそうさ

おいで　夢の中なんかより現実は Ah 歓びにあふれてる

嘘みたいなワンタイム

光が包んだ

終わらせたくなくて

ゆっくり目を閉じた

Ready, Countdown 今までたくさん飛び回った

街から街へとRound A Ground ギュウヅメの座席がワンダーランド

乗り遅れるなよ出発 渋滞抜けたと思えば急カーブ

背後からスコール いつもハプニングのフルコース

それでも止まらない　ワクワクのこだま達

胸の奥に刻んで誇る物語

ハメ外しすぎるくらいはしゃいでも It’s Alright!”

呆れるくらいに今を踊り尽くそう

きっと今世界で一番楽しめてるから Feel so fine

何度でも続けよう！

ナナイロホリデー 目が眩むくらいに輝いて　とろけそうさ

おいで　夢の中なんかより現実は Ah 歓びにあふれてる

必ずまた戻ってくるから It’s Alright

この冒険の続きはそこでしよう

いつまでだって楽しませてみせる一生涯

“最高”を届けよう！

ナナイロホリデー 目が眩むくらいに輝いて　とろけそうさ

おいで　夢の中なんかより現実は Ah 歓びにあふれてる
